Is Itching And Scaling Of Lips Caused Due To Allergy?

Hi. My lips are currently scalping and itching for about 3 weeks and its also red at the outer of the lips. Is it lips ezcema? If yes, what is the cause if it? Because i ve no allergies to any food and cosmetics product as i ve been using the same brand. But i previously do have eczema on my upper elbow before but its now completely cured naturally.

Hi,

It may be allergic cheilitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Apply mild steroid cream on the lower lip. Avoid the application of lipstick on the lips.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
